1001 Rules for My Sister at College

1001 Rules for My Sister at College A primer for my eldest sibling, that she may find shore in an ocean of dorm showers, popped collars, all-nighters and beer bongs.
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look
through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,
You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,
You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.
Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
